In this discussion we discussed how Richard got started making wine in the Santa Rita area in the early 1970s and how things have changed since then. Richard was the first to plant Pinot Noir west of Buellton in 1971. Since then he founded Alma Rosa vineyards and has been added to the winemaker Hall of Fame. We had a fascinating conversation about the history of wine in California since then, sustainability issues, climate change and organics. I learned a huge amount from this interview and I hope other listeners might too. Enjoy.
